Case Brief
Prepare a legal brief on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Santa Fe Independent School Dist. v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000) which is attached as a PDF document.
The case brief will be graded on the rubric found in the student resources section under case brief. Please carefully review the rubric before you start the assignment. Please attach the brief to this assignment as a word document.
By briefing a case, you are reading the entire court opinion then summarizing it into your own words so that the important information from the brief is easier to understand and remember.
Legal case names should be done in standard Bluebook format. Example: York v. Smith, 65 U.S. 294 (1995). Please use the Bluebook Online, which can be found in our library for free.
